June 15th Dustin’s Birthday

I made this piece in honor of my dear nephew Dustin Huard who would have turned 31 years oldย  today.ย  This is based on a photographย  he took on a job as a Production Assistant.ย  He aptly named it โ€œKeep Reflectingโ€ย  My sister Liz sent me the photo, I changed it over to B&W and eliminated the gray tones.ย  I then made an etching on a copper plate, hand inked it then hand printed the image onto watercolor paper on an etching press.

This is the first in a series I plan to do utilizing photos as well as Dustinโ€™sย  writings.ย  He was an avid journal writer.ย  His sister Kristen gave me one of his books he put together with some pretty profound writings.

I have sent this print to my beautiful and brave sister Liz.

Dustin will forever live on in our hearts

I love you.

"Keep Reflecting"
